<p>Hi, For USC's Mid Year Report, it says to submit your grades from the "first grading period." What does this mean? My school goes by a quarter system and we just finished our second quarter. Although I haven't gotten my second quarter report card, I know that my first quarter grades are much better. Which grades should I submit? Should I submit my first quarter grades, or wait for my worser (I couldn't come up with a word) 2nd quarter grades? Thanks!</p>
<p>hmm. Does your school do semesters as well? I know for my school, while we have quarters, the grades that go on our transcripts are our semester grades, so I entered my semester grades in.</p>
<p>Well, I’m taking one class that is one semester long, as opposed to a full year class, so we have a “final grade” which I guess is a semester grade. But other than that, all the other classes only have quarter grades; we don’t have a combined semester grade type thing. And thanks for such a quick reply! :)</p>
<p>We use a quarter system as well, and our counselor just sends the average of the two quarters + our midterm or just a transcript that shows both quarter grades.</p>
<p>huh, well I don’t know then. I’d probably talk to your guidance counselor and ask. 
Whatever goes on your transcript is most likely what you should enter.</p>
<p>not to hog this thread, buttt do u have to submit your senior year grades online in addition to your school sending them for u?</p>
<p>Yes, I believe so. I’m not sure though. I submitted mine online, because I knew all of them already, but they won’t be sent out till next week.</p>
<p>I don’t think they actually need anything official from school. Last week when I tried to get my school to send them the official transcript, my counselor gave the admission office a call and they made it clear that self-reported grades are all they need. positive on this.</p>
<p>it says on the “online mid-year report” link that you need to also mail a hard copy of your report card. It does not say your school has to send it.</p>
<p>I see that. Weird; if it doesn’t matter who sends it, why wouldn’t they take it from my school? They kept telling my counselor not to send anything and just report online. Even if a hard copy is required and it doesn’t “have to” be from my school, I don’t see why official mailing is not preferred. It only seems to add to the chaos if they are receiving letters from 30000+ individuals all at once.</p>
<p>I would send in one just in case then, if that makes any of us feel a bit more secure.</p>
<p>Admissions told me to mail them a hard copy, and they gave me a link to submit my grades online. I couldn’t find a hard printable copy… Can anyone clarify?</p>
<p>they mean like a hard copy of your report card or your transcript–something tangible from your school.</p>
<p>My daughter’s midyear report card is posted on something called Infinite Campus online. She just printed it and sent it to the USC Admissions address they listed. A few days later we got the actual report in the US mail. She could have made a copy of that, as well.

<p>@purplecandy,</p>
<p>i have the same question. I was asked in a letter to send my midyear grades. IS this good or bad?</p>
<p>Also does this mean I will not get the scholarship?</p>
<p>idk…i rlly dont kno…but for sure i kno USC doesn’t request everyone for the midyear report…so I don’t rlly kno if it’s borderline or for scholarship purposes or etc…i heard the it’s for the borderline students but does anyone kno for sure?</p>
